The Bay Horse, 105 Main St Fulford
Deciding it had been a while since our last roast dinner, my friends and I turned our backs on town and went to Fulford to sample the Sunday Carvery at The Bay Horse.
This was a meal wracked with indecision: firstly, out of a choice of beef, pork or turkey, which meat to go for? Then came the Yorkshire puddings, one or two? What a ridiculous question – as these were going to be my first Yorkshire puddings in Yorkshire it was always going to be two. (Especially after a traumatic experience in The Charles where not only did my meal come later than everyone else’s, but I was regretfully informed that they had run out of Yorkshire puddings and had thus been given extra broccoli.)
However, as my friend pointed out, space can be maximised by placing things inside the Yorkshire puddings, as well as simply piling more and more on top. The extras included potatoes, new, roasted or mashed, various vegetables and even stuffing.
As there were no available seats in the main part of the pub, we ate in a room at the back that lacked the cosy pub atmosphere that is so comforting on a Sunday afternoon. However, the food was good and plentiful, and for only about £6, it was pretty reasonable as well
